My next guest on Yax Invites is Chicago Loop.

Chicago Loop is a name that has now been firmly stamped throughout the modern world of techno, albeit within a fairly short space of time. The man behind this relatively new alias however, is certainly not a newcomer to the scene. Ant Wilson, or Ant to his friends, has been producing electronic music and traveling the globe playing at clubs, events and festivals since 1994 from Japan to North and South America, Israel, Russia, South Africa, Europe and everywhere else in between.

It was a career that started back in the heady days of early 90’s London at the illegal rave and warehouse parties that made up a huge part of the scene at that time. Ant very quickly moved onto producing music shortly after, and around the year 2000 he started running his own record label out of the infamous Kinetec studio and record shop in London’s Oxford Circus. Eventually, with almost two decades of travelling, DJ’ing and recording experience under his belt, Ant decided it was time for a change, and in 2013 the Chicago Loop alias was unleashed, which focused solely on creating more upfront and modern techno productions. Within just a few years of launching the project, Chicago Loop secured releases on major labels such as Phobiq, Respekt, Toolroom, Riot, Funk’N Deep, Renesanz and Techburst and his tracks received continued support from some of the scenes biggest players. His 2016 techno hit, “Use Me” on Techburst Records enjoyed over 200 days in the Beatport Hard Techno chart and sat at the No.1 spot for over 25 of those days.

In addition to the many successes with releases, Chicago Loop has been showcasing his sound around the world, playing at events in Asia, South America and across Europe. Some highlights have included the legendary “Techno Tuesday Amsterdam” and the sold out “Welcome To The Future Festival” events and in 2021 he secured a new residency at Friday Happiness in Tojeiro in Southern Portugal.

Today, Chicago Loop is constantly busy in the studio writing more high-profile releases, as well as his chart-topping sample packs on Industrial Strength and endeavours to continue his journey delivering more fresh, no-nonsense techno to dance floors around the world.

HOTCAST #009 @ CHICAGO LOOP

Mark Porter is bringing the 90s rave scene back to life with his latest techno track, Your Future Is. Inspired by the underground parties of his youth, Porter has expertly blended old school sounds and samples with modern production techniques to create a track that pays homage to the past while still feeling fresh and contemporary. Thomas Schumacher added his signature touch to finish this dance floor powerhouse.

Next in line is ascending talent [ Wex 10 ] who channels the Kuukou geist and delivers a forceful single powered by a battery of industrial-grade drums. As a DJ - [ Wex 10 ] has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Carl Cox, Amelie Lens and Adam Beyer and this shines through in the sequencing of his work as it unfolds with alacrity, kicking and punching in all the right places. A granite kick forms the foundation, laying out a stony bed for whetted, steel cymbals and otherworldly vocals that season the track with a welcome dash of psychedelia

Acerbic 
(Stay Up Forever/Hydraulix/Cluster/Perc Trax)

Acerbic is the exciting new acid and hard techno project from Ant Wilson, aka Chicago Loop (Tronic/Respekt/Toolroom) and formerly known as DJ ANT (Powertools Records/Stay Up Forever Collective). 

After a 10 year hiatus from acid and hard techno, writing and performing more mainstream techno under the name Chicago Loop, Ant felt that in 2023 it was high time to revisit a scene that he knew and loved so much, the London Underground scene, and therefore created an exciting new project to fulfil this desire. And so Acerbic was born.

Poised to take on the acid and hard techno scene with full force, ACERBIC launched in 2023 with a well received 4-track vinyl release on 'Stay Up Forever’s' sister acid label, ‘Acid Artists in Action’, with the lead track, ‘XXX’, becoming the acid techno anthem of the summer after causing huge scenes at both Glastonbury Festival and Boomtown Fair. This was closely followed by a huge 3 track digital EP on D.A.V.E. The Drummer’s infamous ‘Hydraulix Records’, released to coincide with his main room set at the Hydraulix party with Slam at Club Fold in London last October. Then at the end of the year, two more 4-track vinyl releases were sent to the cutting room and readied for release for 2024. The first one being the hard hitting ‘In Your Face EP’ on the collective's main imprint itself, ’Stay Up Forever’, which was released in March and a storming techno release on ‘Cluster Records’, called 'Ready Player One', released a couple of months later in May. In addition to the SUF and Cluster vinyl releases, he also dropped a slamming 2 track 303 driven acid techno EP, called 'High-Voltage', on Mark Sherry’s 'Techburst Records', a full-force techno slammer on vinyl on Ireland's ‘Interruption Recs’, a killer 4 track digital EP on Belgium's ‘Arkham XXX’, a huge 2 track EP on Canada's ‘Resilient Recordings’, a monster rave anthem on Skirra’s Mechanikal' and finally a slamming remix of Krissmix's' 'Pills Of The 90's' on 'Stay Up Forever'.

It has already been a busy year for ACERBIC releases, but there's more big news yet to be announced! SUFHYDRO (a collaboration label between Stay Up Forever and Hydraulix) is set to release a huge 12 track Acerbic triple vinyl and digital album. Exactly when the release date will be set for is unknown as of yet, but the process of manufacturing has begun on this massive project, so watch this space! Additionally, watch out for a slamming remix of 'Perc's 'Imperial Leather' on  'Perc Trax', due for both vinyl and digital release in February 2025.
Ant’s long-awaited return to the acid and hard techno family is in full effect!
